Description Description
No place on Cape San Blas has quite as much going on as Barrier Dunes, the gated gulf front community on the Northernmost tip adjacent to the State Park. This neighborhood of townhouses is an ideal destination for the outdoor enthusiast with 2 swimming pools, tennis courts, fishing ponds, a playground and pet stations throughout encouraging an afternoon stroll with your dog. Not to mention all of the fun that can be had at the State Park with the nature trails and boat ramp welcoming you to both the bay and the gulf.

Any time of year is a special time with kids and families sharing memories in the spring and summer and breathtaking fall sunsets to the tight-knit group of busy visitors that congregate during the winter months. This 2 bedroom, end unit can accommodate a party of 6 comfortably along with your pet. It is a short walk to the beach and you have a view of the community tennis courts. There is a large enclosed shower outdoors for you to wash the beach away before stepping inside. Pack your bathing suit and your food (unless you want to cook your catch) and we have the rest covered for you. We’ll be waiting on your arrival any time of year!

Great decor, and kitchen stocked with everything you could need. Location is great close to beach and I could watch my kids walk to the pool.

The property was sufficient for my family of 4. The location to the beach and pools was fantastic. The unit, however, is in need of updating. Bathrooms and kitchen are very dated. Coffee maker is on its last leg. Dryer doesn’t dry very well. It has an ironing board but no iron. Refrigerator has broken shelf and a strip of Duck Tape as a freezer door retainer. A little money in the right places and this unit could be a gem. We did have a fantastic experience and loved the area.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay and the property. We have noted the issues you have reported and will certainly look into them. While Duck Tape is not a permanent fix for anything we do try and get creative for its uses on temporary issues while new parts are on order.

Great Stay
The community was clean, peaceful and everyone was very nice. This is definitely a dog friendly area and our dog made several friends. The town house was clean, neat, stocked well with kitchen necessities. We can't wait to return! Loved it.

The Cape Vacay
Polite neighbors, dog friendly. Community design and landscape well kept and easy to use. Pool on the beachside and another in the middle of the community. Condo has nice kitchen and large rooms. Several balconys and back deck.

Nice property!
This is a nice unit at Barrier Dunes and has had some recent renovations. Unit was clean and everything functioned as it should. Had a nice long weekend stay.

The property was good overall. Enjoyed the grill and decent assortment of kitchen items. But the number of minor issues will have us looking at other options for our next Barrier Dunes visit.

Thank you for your feedback and the minor issues that you shared with us.  Each of these have been inspected and action taken as needed.

The kitchen had equipment you need but no cabinets for food. Suggest bringing plastic tubs for food storage.

- Posted: 2/7/2021

Thank you for your feedback.  Things have been rearranged so that more storage is available in kitchen.

Really enjoyed staying at 422 Barrier Dunes. The location was convenient to everything. This was our dogs first time on the beach. First day he wanted nothing to do with it. After the second day, that's all he wanted to do was go to the beach. Very nice unit. Nice community.

Wonderful place at an amazing beach and bay!
Cape San Blas and this beautiful home are new favorites for our family of four! This home is our go-to place to stay at the Cape. It is conveniently located within a gated property, just a short walk to the amazing beach, pools, and tennis courts. And it is so close to the state park -- which is a reasonable bike ride or short drive. The home furnishings are beautiful and comfortable - we felt very at home! Both bedrooms have a private bathroom (3 showers total) plus a half bath between the kitchen and living room. Love the new flooring which is perfect for the beach and sandy feet. The kitchen is well-maintained and stocked with appliances, cookware, utensils, and table service items. Nice deck with gas grill and tables/chairs. This is exactly the kind of place you want for a vacation - obviously well maintained by owners who have thought of the details. We can't wait to return - one of our best vacations!

Impressed!
I was very impressed with this condo. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s a bit further from the beach than I’d like, especially when carrying all our stuff back and forth. This neighborhood is amazing: super dog friendly, lots of kids for my 5 year old to play with. Perfect for families. Everything was very clean.

Great condo at a beautiful beach!!!
What a wonderful vacation at Cape San Blas!! The condo is beautiful and well appointed, had everything we could need, and was an extremely short walk to the pool and beach. This was our 2nd stay at the condo and we will be back for sure! The bed is amaaaaaaaazingly comfortable. Everything we needed was available in the condo. All in all, a great stay. If you have not been to Cape San Blas before, you are in for a treat!

We liked the property. Well decorated, convenient place--good feel overall. Bathrooms fine--no problems. Layout fine. Doors and windows worked fine. HVAC worked fine. Lighting fine but a breaker was tripped
